Abstract: | Spacer fabrics have been used in many areas varying from medical applications to protection applications. Especially the three
dimensional characteristic of spacer fabrics presents different opportunities for special applications. The compression resistant
characteristic of spacer fabrics is one of their main properties. In this research the compression behaviour of spacer fabrics
designed for concrete applications has been investigated. The effects of some parameters such as spacer yarn material, pattern
and threading on the compression behaviour of spacer fabrics have been studied. According to the test results it was found
that the material, pattern and the threading of spacer yarns are important parameters for the compression characteristics
of spacer fabrics. It was also observed that the location angle of spacer yarn and the amount of the spacer yarns influence
the compression behaviour of spacer fabrics. |
